A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

AUDREY’S POV

“You can at least, say something.” He smirked, satisfied at how tongue tied he had gotten me. But to be fair, I least expected he would get introduced to me for the first time, this way!! So primal and nude!

“First things first, get your naked body off me.”

“Like you don’t have your naked body underneath me.” He gave that annoying cocky smile again.

“Not like I have a choice.” I scowled.

“I think you’re hot when you scowl. Hotter when primal.” He finally put some pressure to the groud beneath me, and raised his bulky body off me. I wasted no time in standing up as well.

We looked at each other in our naked states, and all I could think about was how he deserved a smack on the head. And how hot he actually was.

“So am I supposed to go back home like this?” I asked, gesturing to my naked form.

“Not really.” He shrugged and turned his back to me. It wasn’t up to a second later, when he started walking away.

“Where are you going? How did you even get here?” I yelled out behind him, forced to follow him to wherever he was headed. He made his way into the thick bush and I followed. We walked for a few minutes until we got to a very large umbrella tree. Just on the visible roots of the tree, were some neatly folded clothes.

He picked them up and turned to me.

“I definitely made provision for your foreseen predicament, given a hot temper shewolf would barely have the liberty of time to get undressed, before shifting to defend herself from her handsome attacker.” He smiled, and for the first time since I saw him, I found myself smiling too. “Here.” He muttered, stretching his hand with the clothes in it.

“Thank you.” I hurriedly collected the clothes and got busy putting them on.

“To be sincere, I would have appreciated a longer display of your nudity.” He muttered, putting on his trousers.

My neck went hot and I was sure that my face was red too.

“Where are your guards?” I said, trying to change the subject. “You definitely couldn’t have come alone.”

“For a woman whom I am meant to give up my goddess given mate for, you would do. Greatly, might I add?” Okay, he wasn’t buying into my ‘change of subject’ tactic then. “You’re beautiful, and a great sexual appeal, I must say. I only hope you’re as a primal in bed as you were, just moments ago?” I shot him a hard glare and he in turn, shrugged indifferently. “If I’m to spend the rest of my royal life with you, I might as well be greatly sexually satisfied. Don’t you think?”

“Are you coming out of this bush, or would you rather sleep here?” I asked, making my way out of the bush. With the low sighs I could hear from him, he was clearly trying to put on his clothes quickly. Just when I had gotten to the cleared path I was taking home just moments back, I felt his presence behind me. And why was he breathing down my neck now? Great! I was to marry a nymphomaniac. Not that it didn’t sound appealing though. I, myself, was a huge fan of good sex. I just couldn’t let him realize that, the first time we were meeting each other.

“So, what was that spell you casted on me, while we dueled?” He asked, walking out from behind me, and coming to stand beside me. “Lead the way.” He gestured, making me frown slightly. If he was indeed Prince Sebastian, then why wasn’t I seeing any…. “I ordered my guards to follow your father’s Beta back to the pack house. I wanted our first meeting to be quite intimate. I wasn’t disappointed though.” He smirked. “So lead the way back to your pack house, while we have some interesting conversations.”

“It’s one of my newly found abilities?” I said.

“What?” He asked, not quite following.

“The ‘spell’ I had casted.” I explained. “It’s a new found ability. I don’t think it took the expected effect on you though.”

“It didn’t?!” He chuckled. “And yet, you got my brain spinning so badly?”

“Exactly! You weren’t supposed to get hurt. Just partly unconscious, until I could do whatever I wished to do with you.”

“So you mean to say, you didn’t get the spell right?”

“Yes. And it’s not a spell, I’m not a witch. It’s part of the special abilities I possess.” I sighed, increasing my pace as we walked through the pathway. “I didn’t get it right because I haven’t really practiced how to control this particular ability.”

“So why use an ability you are yet to master, when in the face of serious danger? Imagine it had not worked at all. Or imagine I was a real threat. I would have ripped your pretty head off your neck.”

“But you didn’t.” I chuckled. “And to be very honest, I thought that was my best bet, given the situation. You were already about to sink your canines into my neck!”

“No, I wasn’t. I wouldn’t have.”

“And I was supposed to know that?” I asked in disbelief. We looked at each other and laughed.

“Fine!” He raised his hands in defeat. “I’m sorry for coming at you that way.”

“You already stated the reason why. To know how strong I was.” I rolled my eyes.

“I wanted to be sure you lived up to the hype.” He smiled. “Enough of all these. Let’s talk about more important matters.” His face took on a more serious expression. “I hear you finally agreed to marry me.”

“Clearly.” I muttered.

“I’m sure you have already been told what this really entails. You lose the opportunity to ever meet your goddess given mate.”

“I get to be the next Luna queen. It’s a give and take situation.” I shrugged.

“I like the spirit.” He gave a half smile. “Emotionally attached people are liabilities. To become great, one has to do away with emotions and the sentiments that comes with it.”

“I agree with you.” I nodded. He spoke just like my parents. I was beginning to think it wasn’t such a bad idea to marry him. “But, I really want to know, Prince Sebastian….”

“No.” He cut me off. “If we are to be partners, you shouldn’t address me in that manner. Seb, is just fine.” Oh great! Things were really spiraling fast between us. On first name basis now, are we?

“Fine. You should call me Audrey as well.”

“Great! So what did you want to say?” He asked, bring us back to our previous discussion.

“About that…. I heard of the attack at the palace, against the crown prince a couple of days back.”

“Feeling sorry for poor Logan already? You do know he is the reason we are getting married right? We are doing this to bring him down and take his place. You can’t afford to start feeling sorry for him now.” He rolled his eyes in apparent boredom.

“I think you are getting me all wrong, Sebastian.” I smiled. “I particularly have a great dislike for weak people. They shouldn’t enjoy the privileges that we, the stronger ones enjoy. What good would a weakling like him, do this kingdom?”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Hmmm…” He smiled at me, that twinkle of amusement in his eyes. “I think I really like you.” He grinned, making me smile. “So why did you bring him up?”

“I was thinking, why didn’t you just kill him, and become the only heir?” I chuckled.

“Ohhhh??!” He laughed. “Who do you think sent the people who attacked him a few days back?”

Almost immediately, my laughter died down. Did I just hear him correctly? He was the one who had tried to kill his brother?! What the hell?

I was only joking, when I asked why he hadn’t killed the crown prince. I didn’t mean it. I looked at his face and it held no atom of joke. He was serious!

“Ohhh Goddess!” He sighed when he noticed my countenance. “You didn’t mean what you said, did you?” He muttered, but I didn’t give him any response. I was still recovering from the shock. “Listen, Audrey.” He turned to me, held my shoulders, and pulled me closer. “To get certain things, you have to do certain things.” He gave a sad smile. “But not to worry, you’re safe. As long as you stick with the winning team.” He smiled. Before I could say a word, he covered the space between our faces, and kissed me so hard.

It’s official then. I would do anything for power.
